"Elite" call out time...

[Paul]

I hope you boys enjoyed your HUGE NATIONAL EVENT. I also hope MSN paid you up front for all the work you did for them.

By the way anyone wondering what this is refering too is Ron/Jeremy and others were running their mouths about me/julio + IA. Jeremy got on here spouting how they were "commited" to MSN b/c it was a national event and they weren't getting anything out of it which is utter bullshit as other members told me at varsity you were paid to support.

They have that ugly ass green 350z dont they? Thats such a butt fucking ugly car Im glad its forsale so I dont have to see it at the varsity anymore.

[1SICKLEX]

wow, just wow

[Paul]

its unfortunate some people think their cars give them status in this scene maybe 10 years ago here Atlanta but not anymore; scene has changed. You can go the varsity and see that. furthermore they will never be ECI.

[Julio]

lol.... Nice...

[Nismo]

This thread is awesome!

[Nismo]

On a side note that kristen girl would get it hard though.

[BABY J]

QFT! The "scene" has always been about PEOPLE. The cars is just what beings the PEOPLE together. So is you're a douche w/ a hot car --- ur still a douche and you still suck.

[MachNU]

Hell whats funny is that almost every one of there cars looks almost the same as it did 4-5 years ago at car shows!

[Julio]

BTW - Only cool person in that thread is Nittany.... Or at least I want to say so..

- They should call John Marsh of the All Stars and ask some advice on how to run a marketing team. Elite's leaders do not know what the fuck they are doing....
- They were not needed at TFS.

[Ms Dollar]

I had always thought that Ron was a cool guy...didn't realize that Elite had gone their own way...oh well.

[The Ren]

oh wow.......

[StreetHazard]

Of course I can respect their cars and what they do, those cars are all magazine worthy, but most (if not all) of the cars on ImportAtlanta are built to be DRIVEN, either on the streets or on the track, but the same amount of work (and in some cases) money has been spent to create either.

the Motorsport nationals (NOPI)..whatever IMO is for "show" cars. lambo doors, TV's in the headrests, shag carpet interior ect,ect

Tunerfest is exactly that "tuners" experimenting with different engine swaps, built motors, suspension setups, rim offset selections. but with a gutted interor (either to save weight or it was ratty anyway and the owner threw the money into the engine bay and a roll cage)

I think thats the difference and that is where the division lies! both sides of those feel they are not being judged properly at shows.

I witnessed it at the very last NOPI nationals (what was it 2-3 years ago)

2 acura integras side by side

1--- integra all the "JDM" stuff, boosted B18 lowered on some rota's, recaro race seats gutted back seat. JDM front end conversion, JDM side markers, nice paint

2--- integra, wide body kit with candy paint, lambo doors, TV's and speakers all over the place, huge park bench spoiler. factory LS motor with a shiny header and a CAI.

the wide body integra would win EVERYTIME, even though IMO both put in the same amount of work and money, they just took the cars in 2 different directions

I think THIS is where the division lies, maybe im wrong....

[StreetHazard]

example

here is my good friends prelude, and my black one

both entered side by side at shows...(we put about 10K into both, not including cost of car or labor)


his yellow one beat me out every time...he won best of show at NOPI 3 years in a row

V
V
V
V

I have heard "tuners" at local meets literally laughing at that yellow one calling it "rice" and he put a ton of work into that thing, custom airbrush (that's not vinyl) and ohhhing and ahhhing at mine

[MachNU]

wow streethazard good post. completely agree...your black prelude was ALOT nicer. But at the same time elite has always been know for having elitiest additude people in it!

Its b/c of judges. Most judges don't know squat about cars. If you are lucky, they know about THEIR FAVORITE BRAND and that is all. I've judged before and I can have a discussion with people b/c I know pretty much about all cars. I've held up announcing winners so I can make sure people in the show got a fair shot. You will also have some bias with judges.

There are also categories wild/mild etc but again, the judges are usually horrible.

For the most part at a car show, SHOW wins. Oddly I've seen STOCK cars been SHOW cars, again showing the judges either prefer a cleaner look or just didn't know what the hell they were doing.

Even with high performance vehicles in shows, they are covered with sponsor stickers, decals.

Its very tough to have a show, compete in shows, judge shows, hold shows.

Also people that compete in shows cannot ASSUME judges know everything. They better find out who the judges are and try to talk to them to explain what they did.

[Echonova]

Paul, if I were you (because I'm petty and vengeful) I would delete their section in the car club section... I mean, they haven't posted in two months anyway... ~instigate~

normally its b/c bad promoters don't hire the right people to judge their events. there are only a handful of people i would ever allow to judge at any of our events.

[Echonova]

Yeah that too.

[ironchef]

Most of their cars are ugly anyway, so oh well.
